Description of Work: As of this date, we have called and been promised that they would either call back to arrange to be at our house for an appraisal or be "right over before the end of the day," 4-5 times. This was by the receptionist, or the lady who acts as the receptionist. Since my husband had used them prior a time back, he really wanted to used them again. Well, it's done. Uh; no, nada, nyet. This is disappointing, unprofessional, and flat out rude. How would they like it if they were treated that way?

Madison Plumbing is the local authorized service provider for Insinkerator products. When I called for service, they were able to work me into the schedule almost immediately, and they were considerate of the fact that I needed time to get home from work. On the first visit, they determined that my disposer was under warranty and not repairable and a replacement. When the replacement arrived at their office, they were again willing to work with my schedule -- I wanted it done a day earlier than planned. They did the work quickly and carefully. They were friendly and respectful, and they left my kitchen as they'd found it. In the past, I've had plumbers leave dirty water and junk around the work area or large smelly items in the garbage, so I was pleased that they cleaned up and put everything back. I was happy with the whole experience and will call these folks next time I need plumbing services on my own dime.

They were efficient but had to spend significantly more time on the external faucet as they had to go under the crawl space, remove the old one and install the new.

I have used them multiple times. I was not very happy with the plumbers that came out the second and third time. I was pleased with the work and the price when they redid my plumbing in my bathroom. They didn't have a tile setter though, so I had to hire one separately. Usually plumbers have tile setters, but they didn't. They had someone in mind though. When they came to fix a leak in my kitchen, they didn't have a small rubber grommet and couldn't improvise one. The guy had to go to Home Depot to buy a faucet set. They only use one manufacturer for faucets, and they don't have the parts for the other brands. I first chose them because they had a good review, which included price. I always ask for the same plumber, but the service quality seems to be declining while the price seems to increase. They tried to fix the hot waterside of the kitchen faucet and the only problem with that was a gasket, but they said I needed a whole new faucet set. They told me that I could either buy it or they would.

I called to obtain an estimate on the purchase of a specific hot water heater and an estimate of the installation cost. I selected MPS and ordered my new hot water heater that was delivered within a week. They came out the next day, removed my old hot water heater and installed the new one. The Plumber was very professional and polite, worked quickly and cleaned up afterwards. I'm very pleased with the product and service provided by Madison Plumbing Services.

I found this company through the yellow pages. I was contacted the same day as I called. They were at my house the next day and made the repairs as stated above. I did not hear the repairman say "I think this is your problem". His words were "Here is your problem" and I was shown what he found. He made the repairs and was gone within the hour.
Description of Work: The problem was a leaky bathroom stool. The repairman very quickly found the problem and replaced the gaskets and bolts at the bottom of the tank. He also checked for other possible leaks but were found to be OK.

I called to schedule an appointment to have my low water flow problem looked at. They had someone immediately available so I left work to meet them at my house. John was waiting in his van when I arrived. He asked a few questions and checked the water flow/pressure problem I was having. He had the parts in his van so he was able to immediately get to work. He finished faster than estimated and the cost also came in less than what I was quoted. Very efficient, clean, and high quality work. I would definately use again. ** About a month after the work was done I noticed a water leak in my front yard near where the pressure regulator was replaced and called to have it looked at. Apparently the pipe connected to the pressure regulator I just had replaced had gotten damaged. I know it was fine for several weeks after the initial repairs were complete. John said that someone may have stepped on or run over the PVC pipe that allows you to adjust the pressure regulator without digging it up again. I was sure that since the initial work was completed correctly and it had been over a month with no problems that I would have to pay to get it fixed. Especially considering that we didn't know exacly how the pipe got damaged and it could very well have been me running over it with the lawn mower. To my surprise John said that they warranty their work and there would be no charge, even in this case where I may have caused the damage. Once again this company has impressed me.

Not happy at all. I requested a quote to have a pressure regulator and some other work performed. They were to call me on the way to the house and arrive early afternoon. They failed to call and showed up at the house at 6 PM. Then they said they would return the following morning to perform the work and never showed up. I gave them the rest of the week to contact me and then contracted another plumber the following week.

We made the call the night before (1/18). They were very responsive and helped us troubleshoot whether it was an "emergency" situation over the phone. That was quite nice. It wasn't. The appointment was scheduled for 8 am (1/19). We start work at 7. My husband took the time off in the morning to be there for the appointment. They didn't show up until 12. We very well could have had one of us come home during or just before lunch. Instead we wasted 5 hours of our work day waiting around for them to show up. I would understand if there was an emergency and they called ahead to let us know. I would understand if they had rescheduled. Neither. No one called ever. I called (at 8:50am) from my office to find out what is going on and let them know I was very dissatisfied at them not giving us an ETA. It is incredibly unreliable and unprofessional to not at least call and reschedule knowing you'll be late. 5 hours.......unexceptable. In the end, nothing was found. We're hoping it was a fluk thing. We had installed a water filter ourselves and had had to run the water for 10 minutes. Maybe a slight clog caused the backup. *shrug* wish I knew. But nothng bad has happened since.
Description of Work: Checked the line for clogs.

I discovered the pipe was leaking because I was repairing the water line for the refrigerator. It was obvious that someone had attempted to repair it before but had done poor job. I shut the water off overnight, tended to some business the next morning and called Madison Plumbing which has great reviews here and on BBB. I spoke to the office and told them what the problem was. They said everyone was tied up at the time but would call when someone became available. Approximately 45 minutes later they called and asked if now was a good time. I said yes and 15 minutes later they showed up. I showed them what the problem was, heard some banging and smelled the torch. Approximately 45 minutes later they were done. Well, they thought they were done but the apprentice discovered a leak and they had go back in. The next time they were done. I was pleased. Primarily because they did the type of job that when I look at it I say, "nope, I could not have done that myself." I wish I could say this about most service people.
Description of Work: A joint between two pipes in the crawl space sprung a leak. It was a tight fit between the sewer line and the heating ducts. John replaced a tee and a reducer.

Prompt, punctual, thorough, clean, polite -- he actually ran from floor to floor - he worked fast and was nice all the way through the job. He did what he promised and answered questions clearly, concisely and politely. I never got an estimate before the work started because I told him to go get started -- and thought I paid too little -- but was so very pleased to do so. He will be called again to come back and do the work for the reset of my tub and other plumbing when we complete removal of the "Black Mold City" in my wall and I will request the same tech, Butch... the one with the ponytail.
Description of Work: Plumber arrived promptly with little notice to work on three jobs within our home - two under control and one emergency. He diagnosed and repaired a leak behind our tub wall contributing to a hidden area of toxic black mold grow -- he replaced copper piping on what had been a long term hidden leak behind our wall due to a bad solder area on a supply line to our 2nd story master bath tub/shower line. We then put up plastic sheeting on that to await the contractor to come for the "big mess." He reset a toilet and replaced a leaking supply line that had put us in the middle of another water damage mess in a different 2nd story (hall) bath in the midst of a flooring repair and replacement. He reset a first floor toilet that I felt was having problems -- wax seal or a spacer was causing problems from a prior flooring install and reset. He worked fast and cleaned up well. He wrote 3 separate invoices (1 for me and 2 for insurance for 2 simultaneous claims). On 1/6/2009, I asked that he then re-write one invoice to remove items the insurance did not cover to give them a clean invoice and separate and detail work done; he agreed to do that and fax it to the insurance agent for me so I could get repaid and go on to the next emergency.

The shower was great. A hard problem in an almost inaccessible place. Good work. Clean and efficient. The outside line was not a homeowners problem. The technician from Madison Plumbing was very thorough. He called the city to attest that the problem was in the main line. He was embarrassed to charge me. He only charged for the call, not his time.
Description of Work: I tried to refurbish a hall bath by myself. With predictable results. I twisted off the shower valve! Water everywhere. I called Madison Plumbing on Sunday around noon. The technician was there by 1 PM. The poor guy stayed until about 6 PM to fix the problem. About a week later I noticed sewage bubbling up in my front garden. They were there within the hour. They snaked out the sewage lines all the way to the street. It turned out to be a problem in the main line that the city had to fix.

One toilet flange was replaced, one was repaired. Three toilets set just fine, water pressure regulator replaced just fine. A few weeks later one of the toilets rocked again (the repaired flange); they warranted their work and came and replaced the flange at no additional cost. (Warranter is only about 60 days though, so be sure you ask!) Months later we could not adjust the water pressure in the house, it was stuck at 40psi (we wanted 65 to give adequate pressure to upstairs bathroom). I put in a call to the office knowing we were well beyond their warranter period and asked if they could just swing by and see if the regulator had failed (1yr warantee on part); a couple days later we had higher water pressure! They fixed whatever was the problem and we were able to adjust the water pressure to what we wanted.
